Where are tjie young .men' in respect t moral character t It is upon moral charmed &r that the welfare of the country depends. Some people think it does Dot-matter what a young man's character; is, 4 He may gef through a period of worthtesinees, they say and come out all tight in the end. : There is no worse devil's lie than this. The chances are that what a man is in his youth he will be in hisinanhood, though it may be in part concealed. What is the character of y oung" menin respect to troth ?i -This: me 4 so feverish, we live at such a high :preVsuref I that to be truthlul requires not only sell-; denial but a close watchf ulness. ; There is no real happiness except in truth; there is no safety 'except in truth. Next to it is oojeciive. a commerce iar ana wiae, quicK methods of trade and the prevalence of gambling surround youth, and it needs not only moral strength, but intellectual via:or, to resist temptation. Another point is purity not only in deed, but in thought. A young man should re tain his original purity. There should be courage in the matter of industry, temper ance and frugality. Auother side of the subject is his relations to the unseen. He has capacity for eternal gain, or eternal loss. There is a tendency in our age toward a dis integration of belief. What once was ac cepted with the unquestioning faith is now submitted to the crucible of criticism. I am not one of those who believe there is much more infidelity now than in former ages. It is because of unbelief in the Churches that it appears greater. There is great activity of thought. In some quar ters there is materialism, and in others the chief doctrinal teachings are questioned. Where are our young men in respect to faith ? Belief in God is necessary. Destroy it and ruin is already set in. Religion is the prime force that holds society together. Break it and catastrophe follows. We should not lose sight of our duty in this re gard. There is nothing more powerful than force of example. There is two gospels ; the one that is presented, and another that is lived. Look at our Churches. Do the young men attend ? There are several rea sons why they do not. The Churches have not done their duty ; they are not the social centres they might become. Thousands of young men are in this city without a friend. They often find the Churches cold and for bidding. ' A rough word or a cold stare may banish them forever. I wish to speak a word of warning in regard to outside socie ties, such as the Young Men's Christian As sociation and the Sunday School. They should not encroach upon the Church. If you sacrifice the Church to them, thov des troy the efficiency of the Church. From a Sermon by Dr. Bevan. The Folly of the 'Day. There is a dreadful ambition abroad for being "genteel." We keep up appearance too often at the expense of honesty ; and though we may not be rich, yet we must seem to be "respectable," though only in the meanest sense in mere vulgar show. We have not the courage to go patiently onward in the condition of life which it has pleased God to call us ; but must need live in some fashionable state', to which we ridi culously please to call ourselves, and all to gratify the vanity of that unsubstantial, genteel world, of which we form a part. There is a constant struggle and pressure for front seats in the social amphitheatre, in the midst of which all noble, self-denying resolve is trodden down, and many fine natures are inevitably crushed to death. What waste, what misery, what bankrupt cy, come from all this ambition to dazzle others with the glare of apparent worldly success, we need not describe. The mis chievous results show themselves in a thou sand ways in the rank frauds committed by men who dare to be dishonest, but do not dare to seem poor; and in the desperate dashes at fortune, in which the pity is not so much for those who fail, as for the hun dreds of innocent families who are so often involved in the ruin.

The Farmers' Friend Pkrwy At BURWELL & SPRINGS, r . , j Fraud in Flour. . . A sharp fraud which is just about being fully detected, has been practiced contin uously for a year past, and no telling how much longer, upon some of the millers of this county and .the general public. Per sons have for a long while past been regu. larly buying up all the flour sacks of certain , well .known and reputable mills, after the sacks have been emptied, and carrying these off would fill them with indifferent or worth less flour: and bring it to market te sell. The sacks bearing the brands of these first class mills, dealers would buy without hesi tation and sell the flour upon the reputation of the Mills. : J3o ; much flour has thus been returned to merchants as utterly worthless that investigation has been instituted in several instances, and the ab jve facts ascer tained. This is the grossest sort of a fraud, and persons practicing it should know that they are indictable lor obtaining money un der false pretences. Meanwhile it would be well for mill-owners to watch this matter up, as the reputation of some of our mills are being seriously damaged- by. the prac tice of which we speak. -Statesoille Land mark. Do we Eat too Much? The amount of nourishment which a per son needs greatly depends on his constitu tion, state of health, habits, and work. A sedentary man requires less than one whose duties demand the exercise of his muscles, and a brain-worker needs more than an idler. But unquestionably the majority of us take more than we need. Indeed, food and work are distributed most .unequally. The man of leisure is also the man of means, and accordingly, fares sumptuously every day ; while the laborer toils for eight hours and finds it difficult to get enough to repair the waste of his tissues. Yet a Chinaman or a Bengalese will toil under a tropical sun and find a few pence worth of rice or jovral sufficient to sustain his strength. A Frenchman will not eat half what an Eng lishman engaged in the same work will de mand, and a Spanish laborer, content in or dinary times with a watermelon and a bit of black bread, will toil in the vineyards and grow fat on a dietary of onion porridge and grapes. It is true that Mr Bassy, when building the continental railways, found that one English navy was worth a couple of spare-fed foreigners. But, on the other hand, the British Columbian . and Cal ifornia gold-diggers, than whom a more magnificent set of athletes does not exist, live in the remote mountains of the far west mainly on beans flavored with a few cubes of pork. But they also obtain the best of water and purest of air, and their out-door life and active exercise enables them to di gest every ounce of their frugal fare. The English soldiers; though better fed than those of any army except the American, do not get one-half the amount of solid nutri ment which the idlest of club loungers con siders indispensable for his sustenance. An athlete in training is allowed even less food, yet he prospers on the limited fare and prolongs his life by the regimen to which he has been subjected. King Victor Emanuel was a monarch of the most robust physique ; yet he only ate one meal per day, and it is manifestly absurd for any man to require three more or less weighty meals and an afternoon cup of tea to sup port the exertion of walking to the club, riding an hour in the park, writing a note or two, and dancing a couple of miles around a ball-room. The ancients had their "atne thustoi," or "sober stones," by which they regulate their indulgence at table. The moderns have not even this. But they have their gout and their lives to warn them, when it is too late, that nature has been overtasked. Wild Men. Certainly the orang-outang presents many features strikingly in common with man, and one which Buffo n saw and studied is described as being of sweet temper, having the instinct to sit at table and-, behave him self with perfect propriety. More than one instance is recorded of their having learned to play a few notes on a flute whence, no doubt, Pan's celebrated pipes and, al though they do not appear ever to have learned to articulate words, Tisson, who dissected one, declared it to possess perfect vocal organs, exactly corresponding to our own. Buffon's account of the creature would seem to indicate that, although he classes him with the apes, he was particu larly struck with his human qualities : "He has no tail ; his arms, hands, fingers, and nails, are like our own; he always walks erect ; he has features very similar to those of man, with ears of the same shape, hair upon head, a beard upon his chin, and skin neither more nor less hairy than man possesses in a state of nature. The inhabit ants, therefore, of his country have not hes itated to associate him with the human race under the name of orang-outang, or "wild man." : Looking only at his face, one might regard the orang-outang either as the first of apes or the last of men ; because, with the exception of a soul, he lacks nothing that we have, and because in body he dif fers less from man than from the other ani mals to which the name of ape is given. The observations of early naturalists and travelers exaggerates his peculiarities in many respects, as might, indeed, be expect ed. In a state of nature he does not build himself houses, as has been asserted, his nest being merely a rude platform of sticks on trie lower orancnes ot a tree, covered, in some rare cases, with a few. broad leaves for a roof. Although he is capable of apprecia ting the use of fire, and will warm himself at one which travelers have left, he seems to have no notion of keeping it even by throw ing on a log or two. Though he does walk erect on two legs, his favorite method of progression is by his hands from branch to branch of a tree ; so that, after all, his re semblance to a man, is, at the best, super ficial." Tb Saturday Beview, ; f Mint and Mintage. . J From the Financial Chronicle. The first money coined by authority of the United States, was copper cents in 1793. A collector of coins will pay, $100 for. a cent of that date. ; Specimens of them ': are to be seen at the mint in . Philadelphia, at the Smithsonian Institution, in, the cabinets of several State historical societies, and among the . collections of American numismatists. In 1794 silver dollars were coined, and in 1795 gold eagles. Coins of these years are yery scarce and are : worth phenomenal prices. The mint, by the . act of April 2, 1792, was established for the purpose of a National coinage, at Philadelphia, and the law of 1873 established the midt and assay offices,' as a bureau of the Treasury depart ment, the bureau of the mint itself being in charge of the Director of theMint, who. is under the general direction of the Secre tary of the Treasury, and is appointed by the President, with the consent of the Sen ate, for five year. Admission to either of the lour mints of the United States is only by card. The a-say offices are at New York, Charlotte, N. C, and Boise City, Idaho. A visit to the Philadelphia mint is an event of interest. . The visitor 'will see gold and silver ingots rolled into strips or ribbons of the proper thickness for the coin to be made, the process requiring ten times for gold and eight times for silver, the strips in the meantime having been soften ed by an annealing process. After having ben straightened and rendered of uniform thickness they are passed through the cut ting press, the strips being fed by hand. The gold planchets, weighing just right, are then milled, and after being annealed and cleaned they are ready for the coining press. The pressure upon the die is immense. Every coin is carefully inspected, counted and put up in bags and delivered to the superintendent, the counting being done by a very ingenious process and absolutely preventing any "cheat in the count." The original dies are used simply to strike copies in softened steel. Probably the fin est mint -work in the world is done in France, where the assaying of gold and sil ver is done by jewellers, who are obliged by law to have every article stamped be fore it can be sold. Married Women's Property in England. A bill to amend the acts of Parliament at present regulating the property of married women has been introduced this session by Mr C. B. McLaren, who has explained the principles of his proposed measure at a recent meeting of the Law Amendment So ciety. It is, unhappily, but two well known that in many instances women with a few hundreds of pounds, or a business or income of their own, are married not for their own sake, but for the sake of the small fortune they may possess ; and that, in absence of any settlement before marriage, this be comes the absolute property of the husband, is under his sole control and may be utter ly squandered away by him without the fower of interference by the wife or her re ations. There are but few persons who cannot call to mind cases of this kind which have happened within the circle of their own acquaintance. In the cases, of women possessed of ample means this evil is grad ually guarded against by a settlement of the property of the wife upon herself and children, which takes the control of her money out of the husband's hand, placing it usually in the custody of trustees for the sole benefit of the wife and her children. The object of Mr McLaren's bill is to carry out this principle in all cases and to give to both husband and wife complete power over his. own or her own separate estate. It proceeds on the principle that the labors of each of the partners in matrimony should be for the use of both. This naturally is the case in a happy union, but it proceeds still further, and should it be carried into effect it . will enforce the enactment that neither party shall be responsible, for the acts of the other, and it will cause the pro perty of both husband and wifeto be un affected by the act of marriage, so that in case of domestic differences or separation each party will retain complete power over his or her separate estate. Should this pro posed bill be carried into effect, it . will necessarily cut both ways. A woman with out fortune, marrying a, richer man than herself, will have no further claim on his estate in case of difference than a mere charge for subsistence ; his riches will re main his and his alone. Strong minded women, able to earn their own living, will perhaps rejoice at the change of law, and those also who have an independence of their own; but there are others, perhaps the majority, who will lare badly when it is found that they have no claim except for mere subsistence on their husband's wealth. London Queen. The City op Mexico x Coming Be soet. In 1883 the nobby thing for our fashionables to do will be to take a trip to the City of .Mexico, and wander - through the marble halls of the palace of the Monte- zumas. i ne Jiiexican capuai is one onne most beautiful, as well as one of the most delightful cities in the world, and. will un doubtedly become a place of resort for Americans, in both Summer and Winter, the climate being simply delicious the year round. The time of the trip will, we tun- Eect, be something less than forty-eight ours. 2Teu Orleans Democrat.

P.; of New York, gives in the Journal of Nervous and MOTtaf Dis ease an account of the investigation which he has made' on the toxic effects if of tea. They were carried on in the cases of fire tea-tasters suffering from disease who came under his care, and in observations of his own symptoms daring a week in -which he subjected himself to special treatment with tea for purposes of experiment From the whole series of observation he . draws the conclusions that 1. With tea, as with any potent drug, there is a proper and' an 1m proper dose; 2.' In moderation, lea is a mental and bodily stimulant off a most agreeable nature, followed by no-harmful reaction. It produces contentment of mind, allays hunger and bodily weariness, and in creases the disposition and the capacity for work ; 3. Taken immoderately, it leads to a very serious group of symptoms, uch as headache, vertigo, heat and flushings of body, ringing in the ears, mental dullness and confusion, tremulousnefi, nervousness, sleeplessness, apprehension of evil, exhaust ion of mind and body, with disinclination to mental and physical exertion, increased and irregular action of the heart, increased respiration. Each of the above symptoms is produced by tea taken in immoderate quantities, irrespective ot dyspepsia, or hy pochondria, or hypera;mia; 4. Immoderate tea-drinking, continued for a considerable time, with great certainty produces dys pepsia; 5. The immediate mental symp toms produced by tea are not to be attrib uted to dyspepsia; 6. Tea retards the waste or retrograde metamorphosis of tissue, and thereby reduces the demand for food. It also diminishes the amount of nrine secret ed ; 7. Many of the symptoms of immoder ate tea-drinking are such as may occur without suspicion of tea being their cause, and we find many people taking tea to re lieve the discomfort which its abuse is pro ducing. Popular Science Monthly. A Mother's Home. The most perfect home I ever saw was in a little house, into the sweet incense of whose fires went no costly things. Six hundred dollars served for a year's living of a father, a mother was a creator of home, and her relations with her children were the most beautiful I have ever seen. Even a dull and common-place man was lifted up and enabled to do work for souls by the atmosphere which this . woman .created. Every inmate of her house invola&tarily looked into her face for the key-note of the day, and it alwavs rang clear.: -From the rosebud or the clover leaf, which, in, spite of her housework, she always found time to put by our plates at breakfast, down to the essay or story she had on'hand to be read or discussed in the evening, there ;was no intermission of her influence. She' always has been and always will be my1 ideal of a mother, a' wife.' -- If to her .quick brain, lov ing heart, and exquisite tact had been add ed the appliance of wealth and the enlarge ment of wider culture,7, hers wduld' have been absolutely the ideal home.'
